What Makes These Orange Creamsicle Truffles So Irresistible?

These truffles get their signature zing from orange zest and juice, paired with creamy condensed milk and rich white chocolate. They balance citrusy brightness with silky smoothness for a melt-in-your-mouth experience that is both refreshing and decadent.

They’re incredibly easy to customize with coatings like coconut flakes, crushed vanilla wafers, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate. Plus, there’s no oven required—just a chill in the fridge before serving.

Ingredients for the Orange Creamsicle Truffles

White Chocolate Chips – This is your base for the truffle texture and sweetness. Choose high-quality white chocolate for a creamy, rich finish.

Sweetened Condensed Milk – Adds luxurious texture and keeps the truffle mixture smooth and pliable. It also enhances the sweetness.

Fresh Orange Zest & Juice – The true star of this recipe. Zest infuses the mixture with fragrant oils, while fresh juice adds bright acidity and fresh citrus punch.

Butter – Helps stabilize the mixture and adds a silkiness that makes the truffles melt just right.

Powdered Sugar – Used for dusting the truffles for a soft finish and a light sweetness on the outside.

Vanilla Extract – Complements the orange with a warm, comforting flavor, enhancing that classic creamsicle vibe.

How To Make the Orange Creamsicle Truffles

Step 1: Melt and Mix the Base

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until everything melts into a smooth, glossy mixture. Do not overheat—white chocolate burns easily!

Step 2: Add Citrus and Flavor

Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should be thick, creamy, and fragrant.

Step 3: Chill to Set

Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 4: Shape into Truffles

Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture, then roll into smooth balls using your hands.

Step 5: Coat and Finish

Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place them in mini cupcake liners or on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 6: Chill Again Before Serving

Chill the finished truffles for another 30 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape.

How to Serve and Store These Citrus Delights

These truffles are best served chilled straight from the fridge, where their texture stays soft yet firm. You can store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge, or freeze them for longer shelf life—just thaw before serving.

They also make stunning gifts for holidays or baby showers, packaged in a small tin or gift box. Add a ribbon and they’re ready to impress!
